Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground pork 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped (about 3/4 cup) 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin 1 1/2 teaspoons hot smoked paprika 5 tablespoons plain dried breadcrumbs 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley Coarse salt and ground pepper 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes Rustic bread (optional), for serving

Directions

In a large bowl, combine pork, 1/4 cup onion, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, breadcrumbs, eggs, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. With a wooden spoon, gently mix to combine and, using your hands, roll into 25 meatballs (each 1 1/2 inches wide).

In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. In 2 batches, brown meatballs on all sides, 8 minutes per batch. Transfer meatballs to a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Add remaining onion to skillet; cook until fragrant, 2 minutes. Transfer onion to slow cooker, along with 1 teaspoon paprika and tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Cook on low until meatballs are tender, 5 hours. Serve with rustic bread if desired.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       09/17/2013   I used one pound of ground turkey and halfed the seasonings. I also followed the first reviewer's advice on simmering. I served it over veggies to cut out the carbs. It was delicious!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       08/16/2012   I followed the first reviewer's advice and finished on the stove. Just let them simmer and reduce. They were wonderful!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/14/2012   I liked the flavors, but the meatballs seemed overcooked and little burny after being in the slow cooker. I think if I were to make this again, I would make the meatballs just like the recipe said, adding fresh minced garlic to the meat mixture, brown them, and then just let them simmer 1/2 hour in the sauce ingredients. The meatballs looked gorgeous after browning - it was a shame they looked so much more appetizing then than after being slow cooked for several hours.
